Their Organ Nightly Displeased
With the Decision.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-The Arbeiter
Zeitung yesterday says, under the head
of "Forgeries:"
The Illinois supreme court consists Of re-
presentatiyes-or If you please of tools-of
the various railroad corporations. 1t is clear
that one can expect anything from such men
of honor. But that this supreme tribunal
should take refuge in the clumsiest-what
do you call them SO as not to be guilty of con-
temptg..well, say ''mlstakes"-that it should
take refuge in the clumsiest mistakes in
order to give decision the appearance Of
justice, that is a matter which, few days
ago, we should not have believed. To speak
candidly. the supreme court OF the state of
Illinois, in its opinion ON the appeal case
of our comrades has, although uncon-
sciously, in the blindness of prejudice, forged
and distorted the testimony, and where that
was not sufficient invented new proofs OF
guilt. The tapeworm-like document which,
by the way, smells strongly of the states at
torney's office, is so honeycombed with for
ger1es, distortions and arbitrary suggestions
that 1t will be necessary to publish pam
phlel to expose the humbug. The perjured
testimony OF detectives and purchased wit
nesses was not entirely sufficient to justify
the affirmation of the bloody verdit legally
The supreme court found help and supple
mented where it was wanting. Neebe, against
can be found in the record, appears in the
opinion as a man for whom the halter is
much too good.
In introducing translation of the
opinion, the paper says that the reason
ing is "a mixture of lies, miSrepresent-
atiOns and idiocy,"
A PETITION TO THE GOVERNOR.
The printed forms of the petition to
Gov. OgleSby, applying for communication

lists have been gotten out, and are now
being mailed to all parts of the country.
The petition was drawn up by Capt.
Black.
The decision of the Illinois Supreme
court in the anarchists case will eXer-
else powerful influence on the annual
general assembly of the Knights of
Labor, which will meet at Minneapolis
Oct. 3, and thereby Indirectly On the
labor movement, and perhaps, the very
existence of the order of the Knights of
Labor. 1t is intended to bring the mat
ter before the assembly al the outset,
and pass resolution denouncing the
decision and demanding the interior
ence of the Supreme court of the United
States. This move will proceed from
the radical wing, and this will be an
element in the fight on General Master
Workman Powderly.
MOST'S YAWP.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Herr Johann
Most denounced the whole list of those
who had anything to do with the con-
viction of the Chicago anarchists in a
violent speech this evening before a
meeting Of socialists. The substance of
Most's harangue was that at the hay
market affair innocent workingmen
were fired upon because somebody who
is still unknown had fired bomb. The
blood of the workingmen shot down by
the hireling police cried to heaven:
A mockery of trial had condemned
seven of the most respected members of
the cause. The jurymen were slaves of
capital. the evidence perjured, and the
lives of the martyrs sworn away. A
chorus of mo; we'n save them yet,"
greeted the question whether those pres
ent would submit to the death Of their
brothers. Such speeches as Life for
life," sit would be bullets not words, :"
were shouted forth from the audience.
Violent speeches by other prominent
anarchists followed Most, and kept the
crowd at fever heat.
